Reading language
The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

New participants who want the same roles, and tradition bearers ready to leave

Realistic synthesis

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

The new participants want to take on the rite roles that have been assigned by gender and lineage, but some tradition bearers say they will leave if the conditions change. Creating a separate rite could preserve both approaches, but the village's events and resources would be split. In the next rite, who should fill which roles, and under what qualification?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Keep the existing role practices

    Continues familiar succession, but refuses the request of current participants for equal roles.

  2. Option 2

    Open the roles to anyone who wishes

    Opens the way for new participation and the authority to change, but takes on the departure of some successors and the loss of technique.

  3. Option 3

    Establish a new separate ceremony

    Leaves two different practices in place, but splits the community's time, resources, and shared memory.

The situation as it stands

The core ceremony of the fictional village has assigned roles along long-standing gender and lineage practices. Decision deadline: within 60 days, before the next event.

A 2026 synthetic scenario · Changing the roles in a ceremony drives away long-standing participants. The people, organizations, figures, and events are fictional.

  1. Premise 1The core ceremony of the fictional village has assigned roles along long-standing gender and lineage practices.
  2. Premise 2New participants want to take the same roles, but some successors say they will not take part if the conditions change.
  3. Premise 3A separate ceremony could preserve both ways, but the village's shared events and resources would be divided.

Material and rootsThe frame, the values and the background documents
symbolic and interpretive frame · Oracles and dream interpretation

Can we read the effects of an act of belief without treating a prophecy as fact?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
